Pressure mounts in investigation into officer's alleged involvement in aftermath of girl's slaying

Pressure is mounting from Baltimore city council members for a quick resolution in the investigation into a police officer and how he allegedly helped in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of 13-year-old Monae Turnage.

The officer, identified by sources as 32-year-old John A. Ward, has been suspended from duty. Police have been secrative about their investigation, urging patience as they collect evidence. Sources have said the rifle used to shoot the girl, apparently accidentally by one of her friends, was found in the officer's personal car.

The Darley Park neighborhood in Northeast Baltimore, where 13-year-old Monae Turnage's body was found Sunday evening under plastic bags behind a house on Cliftview Avenue, has long had issues with violent crime.
